With conventional hours, minutes and seconds function, this Casablanca 8880 C DT from Franck Muller may appear relatively modest. However, a closer look makes you realise this timeless creation is more than what meets the eye. With characteristic details and impressive signs of craftsmanship, this reference reflects the finest of watchmaking art.

It is carefully crafted in stainless steel with a hefty 46mm case that gives off a classic Frank Muller aura through the signature curved silhouette. The geometry on the case is unique with broad edges and smooth curves and comes elevated with a polished bezel and a solid case back. The dial, in black, reiterates a sense of refinement that defines this timepiece. Distinctive and recognisable Arabic numeral markers in contrasting white adorn the dial with a familiar vibe. In addition to the brand hallmarks that are positioned interestingly in a circular form, the dial also houses a small, round date aperture at 6 o’clock.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
